EPIC Bilstein B16 Electronic Coilovers - Golf R Track Day!

Our Golf R is slowly evolving from a daily driver into a track weapon and the next step in the transition was suspension and braking! We got our hands on some EPIC Bilstein B16 Damptronic Electronically adjustable coilovers along with some Circo by Winmax front brake pads.
How did we test the improvement? Well we handed the keys to James Stewart from Driving Solutions to see what track times would be like before and after!!
Previous lap time (Stock shocks, H&R Springs, street pads) - 1:55
New lap time (Bilstein coilovers, race compound pads) - 1:52

I feel like you and the Mighty Car Mod guys would get along great. Great presentation on your end - best Golf R B16 Damptronic video on youtube I could find.

Great video composition. Looking at B16 for my car so doing my research. Not a golf R but still useful thanks !

Have the Bilstein B16 damptronic coilovers installed in my 2017 Golf R. Did you guys use factory shock mounts and bumpstops with these coilovers. I ended up cutting two nubs of my bumpstops due to knocking when going over bumps at slow speeds in the front coilovers. I'm currently using aftermarket ECS Tuning HD shock mounts and are thinking of installing factory shock mounts. Some people say the coilovers already have bumpstops and not to use factory ones? Thanks for your help....

Does your Golf R with stock DCC build in? I heard of people saying GTI/R suspension mods should go for Bilstein B14 rather than B16 if your car without DCC?

Video could turn down the music a tad more while talking. Still thumbs up though. I like hearing about this stuff.
